Autumn morning with cool breeze & warm sunlight between the trees..



Oh God, the thought of representing you

upon this Earth, as it flies round in space,

fills with delight some part of me, renew-

ing purpose, meaning I am no disgrace.


But really can be, if I’m not on track.

I can be a disgrace to your good dreams

and what I was made for - your fill, not lack,

is what I would display, today it seems


that even when a problem can be seen -

a lack of humans doing some good job,

a vacancy, or vacuum, space, can mean

that my imagination then can lob


on in and “see” some actions possible,

and by such means you woo us to our tasks,

for eyes that see and ears that hear fill full

the first steps in displaying how love basks


around the place, most unsuspectingly

while representing you who walks through camps¹,

and travels down our roads, as enemy*

which might just show some hesed light from lamps(!),


and walks across a sea when blown and tossed²,

and through a little village to some place³ 

we never heard the name of. You’re not bossed

around by us, though influenced not haste-


tened, but we surely can slow down the whole

show that you’re on about, the drama/ play.

Well, please help me to method act, with soul,

and thus to share your mind and thoughts today.



 * Thinking of that “good Samaritan”…(Luke 10:25-37)

¹ “take a stick and clean up & bury your poo, because the Lord your God walks through the camp of his people”(Deut 23:12-14)

²  “They saw Jesus walking towards them over the water…. He acted like we was going on past them..” (Mark 6:45-52)

³ “two walking to Emmaus, suddenly they were met by a stranger who joined them, talked with them… asked them questions, answered theirs… when they arrived he acted like he was going past, but they prevailed on him to stay a little longer.” (Luke 24:13-35)
